Well,

zappa_engine and I were aware of these rooms since June last year. I was not expecting YaY to do this. But oh well, it happened and now I need to explain. I think those rooms were created for Yahoo admins/developers to do testing or just to hang around. YaY can go to these rooms because it is using URLs that nobody is suposed to know about.

Additionally, those rooms are useless because no matter what ID you used to log in, you'll be logged into that room as anonxxxx (anon2456.....anon 6732...etc). Ratings don't change and so on.

I do not recommend you go there, because if you get caugth there by a Yahoo admin, your ip adress might get banned and/or your IDs might get deactivated or bared until 2036 or something like that.

So, please disregard those rooms and log in again.

Cheers,
Using engines to cheat:
- It is not ethical,
- It is useless, nothing is gained (how can one be proud of a score earn with dishonesty?)
- You will be baned, sooner or later,
- It gives us (the true chess engine players) a bad reputation.

Watch your language dude, if you think you can do better, stop whining and go ahead and write your own program.

Even regular users without YaY come across these every once in a while. Only difference is YaY can actually enter the rooms.
